Vegetable Rice Medley

I found this easy side dish in one of my Quick Cooking magazines. It works great for a fast and simple addition to your meal.

Veggie Rice

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
2-1/4 cups water
2 to 3 Tbsp onion or vegetable soup mix
2 cups frozen corn, peas, or mixed vegetables

Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the rice, water, and soup mix; bring to a boil. Add the vegetables; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Cook until rice and vegetables are tender.

Yields 4-6 servings.

Notes: I often use brown rice for this recipe as well. I add a little extra water and let the dish simmer for a bit longer.
